AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws to designate the "Honor and Remember" flag as the symbol of the Commonwealth's concern and commitment to honoring and remembering the lives of all members of the United States Armed Forces who have lost their lives while serving or as a result of service, and their families. The bill outlines the symbolic meaning of the flag's various elements, and specifies the days on which the flag should be displayed by those wishing to honor and remember these fallen service members and their families.
